Association of Pediatric Program Directors (APPD): Task Forces

TASK FORCES

RESEARCH TASK FORCE

This task force is charged with establishing an organizational framework that will promote, encourage and facilitate the APPD (or its individual members) to conduct research projects that will contribute knowledge to the APPD or to the field of pediatric postgraduate medical education. Such research projects may include those designed to elucidate reasons for the high turnover of program directors, to identify the resources (to include salary, protected time and support staff available) and responsibilities of "successful" pediatric program directors, as well as projects designed to study novel curricular or evaluation instruments that will allow programs to address and measure the "new" ACGME competencies.
